Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Kaytron Allen; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 72 spots ahead at pick No. 241.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Jackson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In No. 18 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They paid up for Jonah Savaiinaea at Round 2, Pick 1 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Landon Jackson in pick 50. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Parker Brailsford well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Dont'e Thornton Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at Round 7, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
